Mac specifications - I don't want to have to render to preview
Hi there,
I've got Adobe Premiere CS5 running on my Mac but I don't want to have to render to preview files, it is so time consuming. Can anyone recommend what I need to upgrade to improve this (will more RAM or hard-disk help?). I have 319.21GB storage wtih 14.8 GB free at the moment. Or, do I need a new computer?
Thanks
Jacqui

New computer.... The most I can say with your current setup...
Your internal HD should really only be used for OS and Programs.
This question will be moved to the hardware forum soon enough but, you should consider getting an external HD to work from, preferably USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt... but that won't save you depending on the type of media you're using and the amount of effects you use.

I can't access certain links from sites, especially with a lot of graphics. I get messages to the effect that I need to upgrade my browser. But then the update says I need a 10.3 Mac or higher. Also any site with a lot of graphics takes forever to download. Is there an intermediate update that I could use instead for my Mac?
For Mac 10.2.8 you need Firefox 2.0.0.20 as Firefox 3 will NOT RUN on your Operating System.
Download Firefox 2.0.0.20 from HERE.... http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Follow THESE Instructions to Install... http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installing_Firefox#Mac_OS_X
BUT This is scheduled to be the LAST release of Firefox 2, so you will need to upgrade youur computer to receive further updates. -
indesign opens files with no space between each word, this happened after a mac update, help?? I don't want to have to go through and manually do it.
thanks in advance!If you are unable to enter the passcode into your device, you will have to restore the device to circumvent that passcode.
Is the music purchased from iTunes? If it is you can contact iTunes support and ask them to allow you to re-download the music that you purchased from iTunes.
Also, do you sync the device regularly? When syncing an iPod Touch/iPhone a backup file is made. That backup file doesn't contain your music but it does contain your address book, application data, pictures, notes, etc. After restoring your device, you can try restoring from the last backup that was made of your device so you will not have to start over completely from scratch.
Hope this helps! -
How do I delete stored email addresses in my iphone? When sending photos, I don't want to have certain email addresses "popping up" from the internal memory, I've deleted my entire "Contact" list but they still appear. Help please!
As with the Mail app on a Mac, the iPhone's Mail app stores all email recipients in a list of previous recipients which is separate from the address book or contacts. The email address autofill feature when addressing an message pulls from Contacts and from the list of previous recipients.
Different from the Mail app on a Mac, there is no access to the list of previous recipients with iOS on an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad to remove a previous recipient from the list, or to add a previous recipient to the address book or contacts that is not already entered - not at the present time anyway.
The only way to purge the list of previous recipients at the present time is by restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, which will start being re-populated again with every sent message. -
I just got an iPad 2 and have not yet synced to my computer. I don't want to have all the duplicate songs in my iTunes. How do I get rid of duplicates?
You don't say whether you are on PC or Mac. For Mac there are these two programs which might help (I havn't tried either) :
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/songsergeant.html
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/idupe.html
There are probably similar programs for PCs, but I don't know what they are. On a PC you can hold the shift key and do File > Display Exact Duplicates (without the shift they may not be exact matches) - if one of each duplicate pair has the same date added then you can sort by that and then delete those with (or without) that date. -

I'm want to by mac pro , mac book beacuse don't want intel cpu
I might add if you are dreaming of adding an AMD chip to your Mac, dream on. The EFI firmware is very strict about what can run on the Mac. While some efforts have been made to bypass it, running a Mac operating system on such a machine is unreliable at best, and nonfunctional at worst. The integration of software and hardware is what makes Macs unique. It also is what generally makes them much more reliable. Hardware issues do happen, but not as frequently as this board makes it seem. This is a hospital ward. Mac users who have less problems are usually found at http://www.apple.com/usergroups/

Hi,
I have my iphone 3GS setup to be able to backup and sync with my computer over wifi. But I want to be able to backup to my sons computer also.
The things is I don't want to have to sync to his computer first to do this. Is there a file or something I can move from my computer that is setup to his that would let his see my iphone over wifi?If you don't have access to the old computer any longer, '''no'''. Unless you were using something like the Google Toolbar & Google Bookmarks or Xmarks, which would have your bookmarks in an online account that you could access. Firefox doesn't include an online storage feature for personal data, yet. That is coming in a future version.
If you have a friend at your old job maybe they have access to that old PC and they could export your bookmarks to a file and email that file to you. -
How do I get Elements to occupy full screen on my macbook pro? - the docking station remains visible and I don't want to have the dock in hide mode?
Unfortunately, there is no answer to this problem via this link. It may be that this is simply how the software actually works. It is a design fault in Adobe Photoshop Elements. It is possible to temporarily hide the dock within 'system preferences'. Oh well. Someone may know better.... I hope!

I use the Icalendar at home, at work, and on my Iphone. I don't want to have to "sign in" every time I need my calendar. How do I stay signed in? I have checked the "keep signed in" box, but it does not work.

Staying signed in at iCloud.com is not a problem for me. Try resetting your browser or emptying its cache. -

iTunes 11 for Windows: Change where your iTunes files are stored
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12365
Consolidate your files in the iTunes folder
You can consolidate all the files in your library in the iTunes folder—for example, to make it easier to move your library to a new computer.
Choose File > Library > Organize Library.
Select “Consolidate files.”Files remain in their original locations, and copies are placed in the iTunes folder.
To create folders (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Audiobooks, and so on) inside your iTunes folder, and place all your imported media files in the appropriate folders, select “Reorganize files in the folder ‘iTunes Media.’”
Locate your iTunes files
Do either of the following:
Find out where a file is stored: Select the item in iTunes, and choose File > Get Info. The path to the file is shown at the bottom of the Summary pane (next to Where).
Show the file in Windows Explorer: Select the song, and choose File > Show in Explorer.

I want to purchase an ipad 32gb in the larger size buy have read many bad reviews that they have problems staying connected to wifi. I don't want to have to buy a data package so I only want the wifi one. I already pay apple for my iphone data and I can't afford more money. Why are there so many bad reviews and are the newer ones that much better, according to many reviews they are not.Please help
I already pay apple for my iphone data
You pay your carrier for data, not Apple.
Why are there so many bad reviews
Where? Regardless, there are always going to be a handful of people having some sort of issue with any given device, but I would not therefore assume that you would be one of them. -
is there a way to organise the files in itunes media into playlists? i have a large playlist that i wish to add to a hard drive but i don't want to have to look up each file location separately.
You cannot put music onto your iPod without using iTunes, that what iTunes is for.
It's also not a good idea to wipe the music from your computer and having it only on your iPod. We see countless posts here from people who have done just that - and then lost everything when the iPod needs a Restore. Even if you never need to Restore your iPod, what happens when you eventually replace the iPod? You'll be back here asking how to get the music from one iPod to another. That's not easy to do, we see countless posts about that too!
A much better idea is to buy an external drive (a proper external drive, not simply an iPod) and put your large amount of music onto that drive. Then point your iTunes Library to that drive. However, you need to remember two things:
You still need a backup of that Library.
Using an external drive as your iTunes Library means that the drive must be connected and ready to read before starting your iTunes programme. If it isn't, then iTunes will look on the C: drive - and you will find no music in your Library. (Once again, lots of posts about that as well!)
